. It is not the most popular of the Sulawesi species but it does have its own style. Its pattern of colors is similar to some other species of Sulawesi Shrimp but the coloration is of its own. The Orange Delight Shrimp is not a beginner's species and only experienced hobbyists should attempt to keep it.

Background

The Orange Delight Shrimp is from Sulawesi, Indonesia. Sulawesi is one of the islands encompassing the country of Indonesia. It is caught in one of several lakes in Sulawesi. I highly suggest that you read the article
Sulawesi Expedition
for detailed information on Sulawesi as well as more information on is habitat. There are underwater photos of the lake system and photos of the landscape as well.

Water Parameters

As with all Sulawesi Shrimp it is highly recommended that you keep the Orange Delight Shrimp in a temperature of at least 78F. Anything lower can kill this species. It is also recommended that you keep this species in a tank with hard water and a ph of no less than 7.0. I keep the Orange Delight Shrimp in a tank with a pH of 7.0 and temperature of 84F. My tank parameters are the same for all of my Sulawesi Shrimp.

Due to its small size you can keep the Orange Delight Shrimp in a smaller tank. I recommend a tank of at least 10 gallons. I would keep no more than 25 Orange Delight Shrimp per 10 gallons of water. Even though it is a smaller species, overcrowding can stress this shrimp.

Breeding

The Orange Delight Shrimp breeding is done in complete freshwater, no salt or brackish water is required. The adult females carry the eggs until they hatch, producing miniature shrimp. The females carry roughly 10-15 eggs. It takes approximately 20-30 days for the eggs to hatch. Upon hatching you may not see the babies for a few days while they hide. Eventually they will appear.

The babies of the Orange Delight Shrimp will not show much similarities in coloration to the parents. It will take at least a week before you can truly identify the baby as coming from this species. Due to the baby's small size it is not large enough to show the coloration or pattern as the adults do. For more information on the reproduction cycle of freshwater aquarium shrimp please read the article

. Below is a photo of Orange Delight Shrimp eggs. Notice the tiny black "eyes" of the developing babies inside of the eggs.
